In the sentence "The team celebrated with a pizza party after the game," the participle is "celebrated."

However, the function of "celebrated" in the sentence is not a participle but rather the main verb of the sentence. The term "participle" typically refers to a form of a verb used as an adjective (like "winning").

In this context, the sentence does not contain a participle; instead, "celebrated" is acting as the main action verb. The rest of the phrases you provided (after, pizza party, winning) are not participles related to this sentence.

So, the correct analysis is:

  • "celebrated": main verb (not a participle).

If you meant to inquire about a different sentence with a participle, feel free to ask!
